redbud: I agree with you about T series. It's too heavey for ladies. I think the new Netbook is better for ladies to carry.
I really want to have a light on
due to the nature of my work, i used all of major brands (laptops/desktops/servers). hp laptop is the worst brand for business; among that hp desktops better than its laptops. dell is ok, but it is cheap and you just don't expect it would last. toshiba's laptops are pretty good but a bit pricey. never used acers since it doesn't have business models. thinkpad/thinkcenter are the best for business, unfortunately they were pricey. so far they are so considered as top options for business.

I take your comments on laptops.
what's your job? A software engineer? Why do you need such a high demand for the performance of the laptop? I know Toshiba is a big brander here in UK for a lot of businesses. I saw the mechanical engineers use the Toshiba to report their real time job progress through wireless network. That's really interesting.
My job does not require high performance for the laptop. I only use the laptop to write and run some statistical software.

business model for toshiba is tecra. it is nice and high performance laptop but no as solid as tinkpad is. for some reasons, tecra wasn't as popular as thinkpad in the business world in the states. but with lenovo taking over thinkpad, dell laptops are taking over the market share of thinkpad in the government market due to political reasons. i don't think thinkpad has lost its reputation of the top notch quality yet, but losing of some of ibm software is kinda hurting lenovo...
business is business, politics is politics; they aren't supposed to mix, but in reality, politics always affects business. lenovo should have considered the factors of politics before bought the business of thinkpad/thinkcenter...
btw, thinkpad is much more affordable than ever before, much better deal than tecra. i guess that is welcome news...
